City transfer thread

[Red top reader]

We are not the only club to have spent very little before the start of the new championship season...

Championship net spend table so far. Slightly skewed by genuinely undisclosed fees (Brentford & Charlton mainly).

How can a club spend -9.75 million? That means someone gave them 9.75 million to take the players away!

That's the net spend, as you know.

I see, so tell me who we bought for a total of 18.45 million.

That's just Greg Luer's add ons. No wonder he hasn't featured in the first team yet.

We didn't. One person's spend is another person's receipt. Our net £18.45m shows we've received that much more than we've spent. But you know that already.

A net spend is positive if you have spent money, negative if you have earned money. The table is incorrect and Hatem is correct.

Ours is £1m out, we've actually had £20.75m so far.

When you take into account the wages saved as well, it's pretty handy.

The table is correct, it doesn't say whether its net spend or net receipts.

I may have been wrong by putting spend, but as I didn't specify who had spent the money then technically I'm right, if confusing. How many angels do you think can get on the top of a pin?

Are Brentford going to take our money or what? They don't want to sell either player to us by all accounts

 

[Steve.R]

Have a feeling the Arsenal lads will sway the signings of these two.

Is that net or gross? I'd say -3 angels

Odubajo is in Hull apparently.

For 21 days?

Release clauses have been in footballers contracts for a while,
When we bought Ricketts, in 2006, the 300,000 fee triggered
a minimum Release clause in his contract...

where's that come from.

I am City through and through. My first match at Boothferry Park was circa 1975 against Fulham. City lost 2-1 but I remember the great Bobby Moore was playing for Fulham.
Running battles down the rear of the east stand as I recall and then the train from Boothferry Park back into the city centre. Hooked for life.
Favourite match - away to Bradford City in the FA Cup. Goals from Whitehurst and Edwards. It was the year we almost turned over Liverpool at Boothferry Park.

Just typed 'Karl Bigvern Brown' into Facebook, you're Hull City and Hull FC through and through I can't fault you on that.

I'll only moan at you when you type 'Our Kid said..."

They trying to use our 3.5m trigger as bait for more money from PL clubs, Everton are supposed to be interested, not too sure how much I believe that.
There's a good chance he'll come here, not too sure if he'll get as much game time elsewhere.

Hope he's not to replace Elmo, would love to see a 442 with them 2 overlapping
